  • $\begingroup$ Not true: some events which affect price can happen intraday. For example: spin-off and merger announcements can occur during the trading day. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @LazyCat: OP asked about effects on price. Prices will respond immediately or, if the stock is halted, as soon as the re-opening auction is held for that stock. $\endgroup$
